This was my first book by @jenikasnow and I know for a fact this will not be my last!! Time to devour her whole back list! The way this book made my Disney loving childhood heart smile with the dirtiness of my now adult mind was pure gold!

This story is the classic retailing of Beauty and the Beast but this time the beast doesn’t turn into the handsome blonde hair blue eyed prince at the end but he stays in his beastly primal state and I loved every minute of it!

If you are looking for a filthy novella that will definitely pull you out of any reading slump, please read this book! The amount of times I had to put down my kindle, clench my imaginary pearls, and cover my month at the things the Beast said was unreal! The Beast was the true definition of boy obsessed and possessive and Belle and I ate the ish up!

A wild ride! That’s exactly what this book was when I listen to it! If you are looking for a book that’s fast pace, for the most part, very action packed with a lot of family drama, please listen to the audio book of Malice. You will be entertained!

This story starts off with Juliet working at her local dinner when her bestfriend Vicky comes in with her bodyguard for their weekly hangout session. For years Vicky and Juliet have only met up at the dinner because Vicky is apart of a very dangerous world that Juliet can not know anything about and doesn’t ask questions about either. On this one night Vicky has come to say goodbye to Juliet because her family is sending her away but ask lshe’s saying her final goodbyes, Vicky’s dangerous lifestyle comes face to face with Juliet and thinks she’s out to harm them all.

This book is on the darker side so please check trigger warnings but if you want to be sucked into a world with three troubled souls that have attached themselves to one woman but doesn’t want to share, read this book because the events in this book is a wild crazy ride but the personalities will take it to the next level. The three brothers in this book will make you want to pull your hair out and commit murder (Malice) , swoon and smile like a school girl (William) and make your heart ache but keeps you laughing till your sides hurt (Anthony)!

Yikes!!! I thought book one was crazy but this one, book two, had me pausing the audiobook every few chapters just to make sure I fully understood what and where this book was going and how fast one decision to be with three men can change Juliet life forever.

This story picks up right where the first one leaves off. If you haven’t read book one, please read it before reading this one because it leaves off on a cliffhanger. Most of this story is about Juliet, Malice, William, and Anthony all dealing with the trauma/issue from the first book and trying to figure out a away to make this relationship work because the dynamic of the relationship is slowly killing Juliet inside.

If you are looking for a dark emotional rollercoaster with a lot of drama and very character development driven, then this book is what you need because where the book starts and where it ends will give you whiplash while leaving you with so many questions and anxiety about how the story will end in the last book in the series. The entire time I was reading this book my heart went out and bled for Anthony at how much he struggled mentally with his issues and how cruel his siblings were to him. But I also understood why they made the decisions to pull away from him until he got better. I can’t wait to read the last book to see how all of this is going to get resolved.

Pure entertainment and laughter!! If you go into this book trying to take it seriously, you will not enjoy it at all. This book is solely for shits and giggles and an entertaining time!

This story starts off with Kailyn and Reno having a strange but hilarious encounter in the club that resulted in Reno getting his pants dirty. But when Kailyn tries to leave the club, Reno tracks her down and demands that she come work for him at his cleaners to fix his pants. One argument leads to another and Kailyn finds herself not working in his cleaners but being a live in maid at his home.

Listen!! Just read the book! If you need a book to get you out of a reading slump and keeps you laughing at how crazy and wild these characters are and what they get themselves into, then you are in for a treat! Come prepared for some unhinged and hilarious banter with side characters that all need their own crazy story.

Short and sweet and in true @katee_robert fashion, taboo and smutty as hell!

This story starts off with Hazel coming up with a master plan to seduce her guardian on her twenty-sixth birthday. For years after Hazel partners died, Devon has come to save her from herself on her birthday and when her birthday is over he leaves and doesn’t contact her until the next birthday. Well this time is going to be different and Hazel plan to act on the tention that’s been brewing between them for years.

This has to be one of my favorite novellas in this series. From the banter, the steamy/smutty scenes, the tention, and the way Devon and Hazel played out every fantasy they had for each other was perfect. But what set this book apart from the others in this series is the way Devon knew exactly what Hazel needed and had no problem taking care of all her needs. He was kind and gentle when she needed it but rough and demanding when she craved it.

Have you ever just started a prequel and you knew instantly that the series following this book was going to be a banger??? That’s exactly how I feel about this book!! I know a lot of people hyped The Lycans series up and now I see why. If this is their parents origin story then I know the kids are going to be epic.

This story starts off with an 18 year old vampire name Luna who is exploring Eastern Europe by herself. One day while exploring a near by cave and watering hole she comes face to face with a 200 year old huge very handsome Lycan named Banter who is the king of the Scottish Lycans. From that moment on they realized they are fated to each other and can’t imagine doing life without their partner no matter their differences.

All I’m going to say is….WHERE IS MY BANNER!!!! This Lycan was everything and more. Gentle, protective, patient, possessive, and willing to bend you over any flat surface just to satisfy your need first!! Yasss! I knew I loved supernatural/shifter romances in high school but this prequel right here has me excited to rekindle my love again!

Ya…no. This was my first book by this author and I wish it wasn’t because now I don’t want to read another book from them again. I will continue the series because I was more intrigued with Molly and her ex-husband story line in this book than the main characters but something about this book didn’t sit right with me. Also here we go with another author ruining the name Poppy for me! Will the name Poppy ever be redeemed!

This story starts off with Poppy opening her new restaurant as one of her life long goals as well as completing one of the many tasks her late husband, Jamie, had on this birthday list. Instead of a bucket list, Jamie created a list of things he wanted to do before he turned a certain age. So with Jamie being gone, Poppy took up completing that list for him and one of the things he wanted to do was take a karate class and the day Poppy goes in for her first lesson she comes face to face with a man she hoped to never see again. Cole, the police officer that gave her the worse news of her life that her husband has been killed.

I don’t know what it was but this one wasn’t it for me. I liked the premise of the book, the concept, and even the side characters but some of the character choices the author made with the male main character and some of the things he said didn’t sit right with me or it hit too close to home and made me second guess what the underling tone of the male main character. I understand that this was a small town romance feel and the male main character was a police officer but some of his negative views and the negative things he would say about low income housing and the people that live there and also how the violence had pick up in his town by people from larger cities moving there and the main people that moved there were “gang” members from LA. And the author made these gang members Hispanic. Like why?!? I don’t know, some parts of this book gave me the ick.

Chile!!!! @reallyshanora said “Yall want dark? So here’s darker for a**!!” From book one to book two, I’m still sitting back thinking about all the lies, secrets, and manipulation that happened in this book! How is it possible that so many questions I had from book one was answered in this book but it left me with so many new questions and the cliffhanger at the end was unreal!! I didn’t see that coming!

This story picks up right where the first book leaves off so please read book one first. Gianna has officially agreed to be with Draco but she doesn’t want to fall in love with him because she doesn’t feel like she can trust him. But as days goes on and secrets come out, she gets to see a different side of him that she can’t resist.

Listen!!! I said it once and I’ll say it again!! Draco can get it!! This man is so unhinged, toxic, and crazy at times that the moments where he’s being sweet and expressing his feelings feels like heaven, pure gold!! And the way he will come out of an bag on anyone over Gianna is top tier! This book will take you on a ride that you don’t want to get off of! Can’t wait to start book 3 this month!
